hey guys!
can any body teach me how to change the boot animation on the nexus s? im using MIUI's latest rom version and the boot animation is not as clean as the original nexus s boot anim. help please? thanks in advance!
use root explorer to install apk
1. get the bootanimation.zip to sdcard
2. open root explorer
3. find the bootanimation.zip you are wanting to install
4. long press the bootanimation file and choose copy options (you will see
the paste and cancel boxes at bottom of screen)
5. back out to system/media/bootanimation.zip and paste file
6. It will overwrite the original so no need to change permissions.
If you get this WARNING. You cannot paste here because the file is
read-only. this is ok. Look to the top of screen and you will see line
like this. 124.24 used, 379.70mb free r/o [Mount R/W]. Tap the [Mount
R/W] colored box so it shows [Mount R/O]. Now try the the paste and
the change permission process. When done reboot.
I have been trying to follow dubsx guide for installing his awesome custom boot animations but the PB31IMG.zip file keeps coming up with wrong image during HBOOT.
iowabowtech suggested a different method that works.
Using Root Explorer, make a backup file on your sdcard. Go to system/customize/resource and move the VZW_Bootanimation.zip and the VZW_Droid.mp3 to the backup folder (just so you can return it to the stock boot animation if you want)
Go to the custom boot animation zip you want and move it to system/customize/resource You can also use a custom mp3 file (up to 30-40 seconds long I believe) and place it in the resource file too.
Long press your animation file and rename it to VZW_Bootanimation.zip If you are changing the mp3 file rename it to VZW_Droid.mp3
It worked for me running the rooted Inc_Gingerbread_Official.zip found here on XDA.
Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere with this method.
I never install boot animations thru hboot. You sure he's not talking about installing splash screens because that's how you install those. I just rename the animation and throw them into the folder containing the old bootanimation.zip. So yes, that's the method I use, and yes it works, and what you have written is correct.
Hey, I'd like to know how to change the bootanimation in Kyrillo's ROM as ive already tried BootAni and some other apps and even tried manually changing the Bootanimation in "data" and "system/media"...didnt work.... it'd be great if i could get some help and if possible in a step by step manner...
1. Find a suitable replacement in bootanimation.zip format.
2.check to make sure this isnt an update zip. (do this by exploring the file, it should consist of only files names "part0" and "desc.txt" and maybe "part1")
3.If it is a update zip, unzip it and extract the bootanimationzip inside it.
4. place this onto sd card
5. use root explorer or similar to move the file to system/media, making sure it is named "bootanimation.zip" it should say something like "file exists, replace it?". say yes.
6. now long press the new file and open up permissions in the menu. set these as rw-r--r--
7. reboot phone and enjoy!
bear in mind that kyrillos 10.4 is based on open fimg, so you may have white patched in the boot animation, just like the one preloaded onto it.
In 10.4, Kyrillos has fixed the white patches in SOME bootanimation, like the stock one.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did ..
On an extra note:
If you want to avoid having white flashes in your bootanimations on any rom with openFIMG you should look for one with less than 75 frames in the part1 folder. Any frames past that turn white...
Tried didnt work!!....

To change the bootanimation of the Alcatel ot 995 you need the folowing:
RoM Toolbox PRO (To do most of the work)
1)Download a bootanimation in the resolution of 480x800
with R.T.P and stay in bootanimation manager slide to
local tab & navigate to the bootanimation.zip you just got.
(it will be in the folder romtoolbox/boot_animations/) ,
2)click on the B.Animation you want to install rename it to bootanimation and click 'Create GIF' save the GIF in the root of your sd card, rename the file to bootanimation.gif and click ok.
3)After its done use 'Root Browser' and copy the bootanimation.zip & bootanimation.gif you just made and paste it in
custpack/JRD_custres/media and replace the old boot animation.gif & bootanimation.gif file, don't forget to make a backup of your original gif & zip bootanimation & change the permissions of the .zip to rwxr-xr-x & the. gif to rwxrwxr-x
And DONE enjoy!!.
